Boblee Posted October 21, 2021 Posted October 21, 2021 I have experienced it too but it's not that annoying. The most frustrating ads set up I have experienced is the one that redirects you to other pages when you touch any part of the page.
m76 Posted October 21, 2021 Posted October 21, 2021 I'd do that, but auto play loud ear blasting ads is where I draw the line.

StaceyPowers Posted October 21, 2021 Posted October 21, 2021 I just wanted to say thank you to everyone here who does disable their ad blocker for VGR. As many of you know, I write for the site, so your support means a lot to me 🙂 Heatman and DC 2

We are all rallying in support for the community. It's the little extra thing that we can do with our engagements in comments too.

It's not that bad as it doesn't stop me from doing anything on the site. Yes, it doesn't stop one from participating in the daily activities of posting here. At times it covers half of my screen, I am still making use of the other half.

Justin11 Posted October 22, 2021 Posted October 22, 2021 We are simply moving up in the forum 'VGR. No matter how the ads might be annoying now, I wouldn't back off, I am enjoying the site, learning from fellow gamers.

It's why I was too quick not to worry about it with the ad blocker being off.

It's not like we are being asked to pay or anything, it's just the use of our data and that's it.

Sure, we aren't asked to pay, it's simply using the data, and allowing the Ads to keep popping up and that's all.

Yeah - I have been on some forum where a donation ticket was opened for members to support the forum to donate points and I was like what for? There are some understandable and reasonable things to ask for and not awkward assistance. Heatman 1

But many doesn't like such method, they simply use other monetization means to generate revenue in their forum.
